Counseling in a sexually broken culture, part two, on this edition of Truth and Love.

I'm Heath Lambert, and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, where we seek to provide

biblical solutions for the problems that people face.

Last week on the podcast, we let you hear part one of a talk I gave on sexual abuse to a room

full of pastors in January. This week, we're going to listen to Part 2 in the conclusion of that talk. We're doing

this in advance of our ACBC annual conference on biblical counseling that focuses on abuse this year.

It's called Light in the Darkness, Biblical Counseling and Abuse, and Will Happen in Fort Worth,

Texas on October 1st through 3rd.

As we continue to think about this crucial problem of abuse, here is the second part of my talk

in January on counseling in a sexually broken culture.

Counseling is this. Counseling is a conversation

You do this every day.

Every day you have conversations with somebody who has questions and problems and trouble,

and they need answers and solutions and help.
